Police Seize 22 Tons Of Fake Beef In China
Police in Xi’an province in China reportedly seized more than 22 tonnes of fake beef at a local factory.
Apparently the “beef” was actually made from pork (which is considerably cheaper than beef) that had been treated with chemicals including paraffin wax and industrial salts to make it look like real beef.
Shanghiist reports that the factory sold more than 1,500 kilos (3,000 pounds) of the fake beef to local markets at around 25 to 33 yuan ($4 or $5) per kilo.
So far six workshops that were producing the fake beef have been discovered and shut down.
This isn’t the first instance of fake meat being sold in China. In May of this year, ‘The Guardian UK’ reported that the Chinese authorities had arrested over 900 people and seized 20,000 tonnes of illegal meat products.
